SMART lab members had a lunch outing to bid a bye to Dr Pintu Singha for his future endeavours. He contributed immensely to the lab by starting new projects, guiding students and supervising the Indo German Workshop activities leading to an excellent program. Vinayak Kamble

Second PhD student from #SMartlab Mr Soumya Biswas defended his thesis successfully today. His thesis title is "Study of #Thermoelectric transport properties of #oxide nanohybrids, thin films and their applications" SOUMYA BISWAS Vinayak Kamble School of Physics, IISER TVM

We are looking for suitable #postdoctoral candidates to work on a highly interdisciplinary project of Biosensor devices for diagnostics. A prior experience in related device fabrication and testing would be preferred. To host an application to ra.dbtindia.gov.in Vinayak Kamble

We are pleased to share the acceptance of manuscript "Novel CuCo₂O₄ Photonic Crystals for Optical Hydrogen Sensing: Catalyst-Free Detection and Mechanistic insights via in-situ Raman Spectroscopy" in J. Mater. Chem. family A Silpa S saptak majumder Kritika Joy Mitra Vinayak Kamble

If interdisciplinary science is what fascinates you, this is something you would like to be doing. Thin film Growth, Device fabrication, electronic transport, simulations and integrating AI-ML are the milestones of the projects. admissions.iisertvm.ac.in/phd/index.php/…

SMART lab gave a farewell to our postdoc, Dr Reshma Krishnan and celebrate MS thesis completion of Ann, Gireesh and Adhla. Dr Krishnan been working with us for a while now.. We are glad that she has bagged the prestigious #MaryCurie Fellowship to continue her research ambitions.

We are excited to share our work "Native Oxide MoO₂– MoSe₂ Heterostructure‐Based Self‐Powered Gas Sensor for Selective NO₂ and H₂ Detection" has been recently published in the journal- Small - by Wiley In collaboration with IITKGP and IISc BLR onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sm…

Heartiest congratulations to Ms Silpa S for bagging the Emerging Economy Paper Award 2025 at Optica Adv. #photonics Congress held at Marseille, France. She also received CSIR Travel grant to attend this conference. CSIR, India Anusandhan National Research Foundation School of Physics, IISER TVM IISER Thiruvananthapuram Vinayak Kamble

Ms Silpa gave her presynopsis presentation- "Designing Spectrally Selective Transition Metal Oxides for Hierarchical Multi-Scale Light Management"- towards conclusion of her PhD journey She will be the 3rd student graduating from #SMaRTLab at School of Physics, IISER TVM IISER Thiruvananthapuram Silpa S

Thank you DSTIndia for featuring our work on development of gas sensors for safety and toxic gas monitoring applications.. The project was funded by DST under Nano mission initiatives. pib.gov.in/PressReleasePa… opengovasia.com/india-new-smar… IISER Thiruvananthapuram School of Physics, IISER TVM Anusandhan National Research Foundation

We gratefully acknowledge the funding received from DST INDIA for the development of the gas sensor devices.. In addn 2 PhD students and Several master's students were trained on these projects We also thank Prof Navakanta Bhat & group from Cense IISc Bangalore for the support!
